Die #4

"FANTASY HEARTBREAKER," Part Four-Our heroes reach the civilization of Glass Town and do what heroes have always done upon reaching civilization. As in, go to the pub. As it's DIE, you can guess people don't exactly get happy drunk.

Once again, DIE remains high on my pull list, and I've run out of friends to recommend it to. Horror, fantasy, spectacular art, and personal stories make this book something special and worth a look. Read Full Review

Its hard not to argue that this is one of the best comics out there, and easily the best fantasy comic around right now. If youve not picked up Die yet, and Fantasy is even remotely your bag, this comic needs to be in your collection. Or you could wait for the trade, though youll be waiting until June for that.

So you've probably guessed it"I liked DIE #4. I think the series as a whole is fan-freaking-tastic, as a matter of fact. When great writing meets incredible art, the result is usually something pretty special. Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans have a true comic book gem on their hands. I personally cannot wait to see how this first arc concludes, as well as what the future holds for our heroes lost in the world of DIE. Read Full Review

You pair all of the above with Hans's gorgeous artwork, of course you're going to get a critical success. It's hard to extol Hans's enchantingly haunting artwork, that is evocative of all of the famous fantasy stories, while having a uniquely modern flair that is absolutely engaging. If you're not reading Die already, I'm telling you it's not too late to start. This is a standout title that demands to be read, and I may like Ash's Dictator Voice, but I need more folks to be experiencing the majesty of this series. Read Full Review

Die #4 is a high-mark for a young series that has classic written all over it. This is the best type of new comic, one that tells a long story comprised of several disparate and wholly memorable chapters. Make space up there with Saga and Monstress, Die is quickly becoming one of Images best. Read Full Review

The secrets of Die are really only just beginning to reveal themselves, but the heart at the center of it all is still beating strong. Maybe for some readers it’s not a tabletop game, it’s a sport or a band or a video game - but we all have these connections to people. And no matter how much life gets in the way, there’s always a way to come back. And we’ll get together again, maybe have a few drinks, and we’ll talk and we’ll play. And it’s like no time has passed, but we’re older and wiser than we ever were. And suddenly, we’re home again. Read Full Review

By way of highly emotional storytelling merged with intriguing world building of the eponymous role-playing world itself, "Die" #4 shows continued depth of despair and heights of the possibilities brought about by its world. Read Full Review

-Well this really is the perfect comic isn't it? I didn't actually think I'd read this one. I have never been a huge D&D fan and I never watched the animated series that inspired this comic. So I thought I'd skip it, despite being a huge fan of Kieron Gillen's work. My friend, however, suggested I read it, so I did, and now I have yet another series to pick up every week. I'm not complaining though. This series is fantastic.

-I absolutely adore Stephanie Hans' art. It's some of the best art I'm seeing in a monthly comic book currently.

-The world that Gillen and Hans have crafted is so good. It's immersive, unique, great. Read it.

-This isn't a comic. It's an experience.

-I have fallen in love with these characters.

-Glass Town was a great new location for our characters to visit.

-That trial of Isabel's was really dark, but also really great.

-The flashback art was so good.

-I loved seeing those dwarf characters.

-Wow. Matt's tragedy was just really well… tragic.

-I love Angela's character. Especially this issue.

-The ending is so exciting.

THE BAD:

-This issue was mostly a bridge between issue and a setup for the final act of the arc. It's about the best damn bridge I've ever seen though.more
